39Using the systemThe hard disk drive is an auxiliary memory installed in the computer. The hard disk drivereads and writes data at a fast speed and saves large amount of data. As both the diskand the disk drive are installed in the hard disk, the "hard disk" and the "hard disk drive"are used as the same terms. After installing a new hard disk, set up the system and for-mat the hard disk while referring to the "System Setup" part⍀Before removing or installing a computer, turn off the computer and correctly connectcables. In the case where cables are incorrectly linked, the hard disk may get damaged.⍀When installing a hard disk, use designated nuts only. Otherwise, defects may occur onthe hard disk. If you uses thicker nuts than standard ones, critical damage may be done toelectronic parts. ⍀For stable use of the hard disk, fix the hard disk in the main body of the computer withoutany gap or vibration.Notes on Removal or Separation of the Computer⍀The hard disk may get damaged by external shocks during transportation. ⍀Avoid direct sunlight and damp place because the hard disk is sensitive to high temperatureand humidity. ⍀Cover the hard disk with a static electricity-resistant envelope. ⍀Put the hard disk away from appliances with strong magnets such as TV and stereo set. ⍀The hard disk can get damaged by an electric shock from lightning. It is recommended,therefore, not to use the computer during thunder and lightening, and disconnect the powercord when not using the computer.Notes on Operating Environment of the Computer⍀Shocks on the hard disk during transportation may cause file damage or bad sectors. ⍀When the computer is abruptly reset (rebooted) due to power failure, the hard disk may getdamaged. ⍀The hard disk may get damaged when infected with computer viruses. ⍀BIO setup with wrong hard disk parameter values may damage the hard disk. ⍀If necessary files are deleted by your mistake, the computer may not properly function.⍀Abrupt turning-off of the computer can damage the computer.Notes on Operation of the Computer2-9.Using the Disk DriveA hard disk is sensitive to the external environments and shocks.

The mainboard can support maximum 2GB in memory.Before Expanding the MemoryãWhen disassembling the computer, wear gloves to protect internal parts of thecomputer and slot cards from damage.ãAs the memory is sensitive to static electricity, be careful with the static electrici-ty when removing or installing a memory.ãCheck the specifications of the current memory and the new memory beforeexpanding the memory.ãUnlike SIMM, DIMM is of 64 bits. Therefore, single DIMM can function, and youcan add DIMM by one.ãWindows 95, 98SE, and ME support maximum 512MB. Installing a memory with highercapacity than 512MB may cause malfunctioning of the system.NoteNoteãWhen expanding the memory, add a memory with the same specification (DDR-2SDRAM for 1.8V). (The shape of the memory may differ depending on the productmodel.)ãThe DDR-2 memory provides greatly improved transmission rate than existing memo-ries, and is differently shaped.'''5
